Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Here are the results from the Standard Range Li-ion and LFP packs.

For the Li-ion pack, I tested with just two modules. I can do all 4 modules as soon as I have someone to help me move the other 2 modules close enough to connect ISO-SPI jumpers. For this one, Chip-1,2,3 cell counts look correct ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Not saving the parameters to flash was certainly a problem. Now that I understand that, the standard long range pack with 23-25-25-23 cell groups seems to be working properly. I'll try the other pack configurations shortly.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

I think I am running the firmware you sent. This is the version shown in the spot values "0.07.TA". Is that the correct version number for what you sent?

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Btw, this is the same results I was seeing with the V0.03a firmware installed. I've been setting the number of BMBs in parameters and pressing [Enter]. I see a "Set Ok" message come up on the screen after pressing enter. I've also been pressing the "refresh" button at the top of the screen to see ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Tried 2 Tesla Standard Range Li-Ion 24 cell group modules.

IMG_5462.jpg

Sort of the same pattern as all the other tests. Looks like I'm just getting cell voltages for 1 module. But on these modules I had recently checked all the voltages recently. Every cell group is around 3.6 volts. The ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

One last test on the LFP modules. I moved the board to connect to the second module with the first module emitted from the loop.

Strangely showed 27 cell blocks instead of 28 for the first module.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Did another test, this time with a Model 3 standard range LFP pack with just the bare modules. These modules have 26-28-28-26 cell blocks.

You can barely see in this picture that the module to module ISO-SPI interconnection jumpers are in place

It did show 26 cell ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Here's my setup. This is with a Tesla RWD Model Y Long Range pack. Both ends of the ISO-SPI ring are disconnected from the HV Controller in the pack. The PCB being tested is connected to one end of that loop.

I'm only seeing cell voltages from one of the 23 cell block packs in the ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

Thanks, I see the build instructions in the thread you posted. I'll build it and test with the latest code. And post what I'm seeing. All my battery packs are at my lake house and I'm back at my primary house now. So it'll be a few days at the earliest.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Battery Hacking

I have one of the boards from Damien and have transplanted a batman chip. My board has the v0.03a firmware that came installed. It appears that I'm hitting the 23 cell group issue with this version of firmware. I'm trying to upload the current firmware from github to the board via the Open Inverter ...
